Beginners • VLC player screen goes black after a few videos when playing a playlist

Hi!

I use my raspberry pi mostly to play playlists with many videos with VLC

After playing a few videos from a playlist, at the end of one the videos, the screen goes black and won't play anything else. And I also lose control of the mouse and keyboard.

I have to kill the vlc process to regain control of the screen and start the playlist again. Which will run into the same issue at another random video eventually

This also happens with many different playlists and video files. It doesn't happen with the same playlists on other devices, only on pi.

Any idea what could be wrong?

I tried changing a lot of the settings in vlc player but nothing seems to fix this.

Could it be an over heating issue? I'm about to buy a heatsink anyway but I doubt that's the issue

I'm using a raspberry Pi 4B 8GB and Raspbian bookworm. It also happened with Rapbian bullseye

Any suggestion I could try to fix it is very appreciated. Thanks!
